assembled  at  London,  April  5,  1614,  and  was  dissolved  on  the  Cth

This  nickname  originated  in  the  discussions  on  a  Reform  Bill  in-

referred  to  the  powerful  opposition  among  the  supporters  of  the 
Government  as  a  "  cave  of  Adullam,"  into  which  went  "everyone 
that  was  in  distress,  and  everyone  that  was  in  debt,  and  everyone 
that  was  discontented,"  gathering  themselves  under  the  leadership 
of  two  of  the  ablest  spirits  in  their  party.  This  opposition  from 
their  "candid  friends"  wrecked  the  Government,  which  imme- 
diately resigned.     The  reference  is  to  1  Samuel  xxii.,  2.

appointment draws  out  the  pain  and  allays  the  irritation.— 
Lytton's  Lady  of  Lyons. 

—  Sweet  are  the  uses  of  adversity. 
Which,  like  the  toad,  ugly  and  venomous, 
Wears  yet  a  precious  jewel  in  his  head  ; 
And  this  our  life,  exemj^t  from  public  haunt, 
Finds  tongues  in  trees,  books  in  the  running  brooks, 
Sermons  in  stones,  and  good  in  everything. 

Shakespere,  As  You  Like  It.

By  blunting  us,  to  make  our  wits  more  keen.

Where  patience,  honour,  sweet  humanity, 
Calm  fortitude,  take  root,  and  strongly  flourish. 

Mallet  and  Thomson.

A  brother  to  relieve,  how  exquisite  the  bliss  !

which,  being  echoed  in  derision  by  the  opposition,  became  fixed 
upon  it  ever  after.  The  death  of  Mr.  Fox,  one  of  the  members. 
Sept  13,  1800,  led  to  various  changes,  and  this  ministry  was

Almighty  Dollar. — A  personification  of  the  supposed  object  of  Ameri- 
can idolatry,  intended  as  a  satire  upon  the  prevailug  passion  foi

—  Lowliness  is  young  ambition's  ladder. 
Whereto  the  climber-upward  turns  his  face  ; 
But  when  he  once  obtains  the  upmost  round,

Looks  in  the  clouds,  scorning  the  base  degrees 
By  which  he  did  ascend. — Ibid.,  Julius  Ccesar.

Angels'  Visits. — How  fading  are  the  joys  we  dote  upon  I

—  Anger  is  the  most  impotent  passion  that  accompanies  the  mind

Talmud  "king  of  the  devils;"  whence  some  assume  him  to  be 
identical  with  Beelzebub,  and  others  with  Azrael.  In  modem 
times,  he  has  been  jocularly  spoken  of  as  the  destroying  demon 
of  matrimonial  happiness. 

—  Could  the  reader  take  an  Asmodeus'  flight,  and,  waving  open 
all  roofs  and  privacies,  look  down  from  the  roof  of  Notre  DamO| 
what  a  Paris  were  it ! — Carlyle. 

Aspect. —  With  grave 

Aspect  he  rose,  and  in  his  rising  seemed 
A  pillar  of  state  ;  deep  on  his  front  engraven 
Deliberation  sat,  and  public  care  ; 
And  princely  counsel  in  his  face  yet  shone, 
JNIajestic  though  in  ruin.     Sage  he  stood, 
With  Atlantean  shoulders,  fit  to  bear 
The  weight  of  mightiest  monarchies ;  his  look 
Drew  audience  and  attention  still  as  night 
Or  summer's  noontide  air.— Milton,  Paradise  LotL

Three-volumed,  and  once  read,  and  oft  cramm'd  full 
Of  poisonous  error,  blackening  every  page  ; 

And  oi'tener  still,  of  trifling,  second-hand 

Remark,  and  old,  diseased,  jiutrid  thought, 

And  miserable  incident,  at  war 

With  nature,  with  itself  and  truth  at  Avar ; 

Yet  charming  still  the  greedy  reader  on. 

Till  done,  he 'tried  to  recollect  his  thoughts, 

And  nothing  found  but  dreaming  emptiness. — PoLLOK. 

—  Read  not  to  contradict  and  confute  ;  nor  to  believe  and  take  for 
granted ;  nor  to  find  talk  and  discourse  ;  but  to  weigh  and  con- 
sider. Some  BOOKS  are  to  be  tasted,  others  to  be  swallowed,  and 
some  few  to  be  chewed  and  digested ;  that  is,  some  books  are  to 
be  read  only  in  parts ;  others  to  be  read,  but  not  curiously ;  and 
some  few  to  be  read  wholly  and  with  dUigence  and  attention.

Borrower. — Neither  a  borrower  nor  a  lender  be, 

For  loan  oft  loses  both  itself  and  friend  ;

Bull,  John. — A  well-known  collective  name  of  the  English  nation, 
first  used  in  Arbuthnot's  satire,  "The  History  of  John  Bull," 
usually  published  in  Swift's  works.  In  this  satire,  the  French  sii'S 
designated  as  Lewis  Baboon,  the  Dutch  as  Nicholas  Frog,  f*-c. 
The  "  History  of  John  Bull "  was  designed  to  ridicule  the  Dukf.  of 
Marlborough. 

"One  would  think  that,  in  personifying  itself,  a  nation  would  bo 
apt  to  i")icture  something  grand,  heroic,  and  imjiosing ;  biit  it  ia 
characteristic  of  the  peculiar  humour  of  the  English,  and  of  their  fove 
for  what  is  blunt,  comic,  and  familiar,  that  they  have  embo  lied 
their  national  oddities  in  the  figure  of  a  sturdy,  corpulent  old  fellov^, 
with  a  three-cornered  hat,  red  waistcoat,  leather  breeches,  and  stoi.t 
oaken  cudgel.  Thus  they  have  taken  a  singular  delight  in  exhibiting 
their  most  private  foibles  in  a  laughable  point  of  view,  and  have  been 
BO  successful  in  their  delineation  that  there  is  scarcely  a  being  in  actual 
existence  more  absolutely  present  to  the  public  mind  than  that  eccentric 
personage,  John  Bull." — W.  Irving.

in  common  use  to  denote  a  junto  or  set  of  men  united  for  political 
purposes — having  been  popularly  applied  to  this  ministry  as  a  term

cheering  the  elevated  sphere  she  just  began  to  move  in, — glittering 
like  the  morning  star  full  of  life,  and  splendour,  and  joy. 
Little  did  I  dream  tiiat  I  should  have  lived  to  see  sucli  disasters 
fallen  upon  her  in  a  nation  of  gallant  men,  in  a  nation  of  men  of 
honour  and  of  cavaliers.  I  thought  ten  thousand  swords  must 
have  leaped  from  their  scabbards  to  avenge  even  a  look  that 
threatened  her  with  insult.  But  THE  age  op  chivalry  IW

Christmas. — Some  say,  that  ever  'gainst  that  season  ccmes 

Wherein  our  Saviour's  birth  is  celebrated. 
The  bird  of  dawning  siiigeth  all  night  long : 
And  then,  they  say,  no  spirit  dare  stir  abroad  ; 
The  nights  are  wholesome ;   then  no  planets  strike, 
No  fairy  takes,  nor  witch  hath  power  to  charm, 
So  hallowed  and  so  gracious  is  the  time.

Hope,  will  glide  by  degrees  out  of  the  mind,  unless  it  be  invigorated 
and  reimpressed  by  external  ordinances,  by  stated  calls  to  worship, 
and  the  salutary  influence  of  example. — Johnson,  Life  of  Milton.

Circumlocution  Office. — A  designation  made  use  of  by  Dickens  in 
"Little  Dorrit,"  in  ridicule  of  official  delays  and  indirectness. 
The  Circumlocution  Office  is  described  as  the  chief  of  "pub- 
lic departments  in  the  art  of  perceiving  how  not  to  do  it."  The 
name  has  come  into  popular  use  as  a  synonym  for  governmental 
routine,  or  ' '  red  tape,"  or  a  roundabout  way  of  transacting  public 
business. 

—  Whatever  was  required  to  be  done,  the  Circumlocution 
Office  was  beforehand  with  all  the  public  departments  in  the  art 
of  perceiving  7iow  not  to  do  it. — Dickens,  Little  Dorrit. 

—  The  administrative  Reform  Association  might  have  worked  for 
ten  j'ears,  without  producing  half  of  the  effect  which  Mr.  Dickens

Death. — Death  borders  upon  our  birth,  and  our  cradle  stands  in  the 
grave. — Bishop  Hall,  E'pisiles.

And  that  small  model  of  the  barren  earth

And  tell  sad  stories  of  the  death  of  kings. 

Ibid. ,  Richard  II. 

By  foreign  hands  thy  dying  eyes  were  clos'd, 

By  foreign  hands  thy  decent  limbs  compos'd, 
By  foreign  hands  thy  humble  grave  adorn'd, 
By  strangers  honor  d,  and  by  strangers  moum'd. 

Pope,  Unfortunate  Lady. 
_  Death  is  the  crown  of  life  : 

Were  death  deny'd,  poor  men  would  live  in  vain ; 
Were  death  deny'd,  to  live  would  not  be  life  ; 
Were  death  deny'd,  ev'n  fools  would  wish  to  die. 

Young,  IfiglU  Thoughts. 
__  Every  man  at  time  of  death, 

W^ould  fain  set  forth  some  saying  that  may  live 
After  his  death  and  better  humankind  ; 
For  death  gives  life's  last  word  a  power  to  live, 
And,  like  the  stone- cut  epitaph,  remain 
After  the  vanished  voice,  and  speak  to  men.

public  walks  in  Old  Saint  Paul's,  London,  was  called  Duke  Hum- 
phrey's Walk,  and  that  those  who  were  without  the  means  of  de- 
fraying their  expenses  at  a  tavern  were  formerly  accustomed  to 
walk  here  in  hope  of  procuring  an  invitation. 

—  It  distinctly  appears  .  .  that  one  Diggory  Chuzzlewit  was  in  the 
habit  of  perpetually  dining  with  Duke  Humphrey.  So  constantly 
was  he  a  guest  at  that  nobleman's  table,  indeed,  and  so  unceasingly 
were  his  grace's  hospitality  and  companionship  forced,  as  it  were, 
upon  him,  that  we  find  him  uneasy,  and  full  of  constraint  and  re- 
luctance ;  writing  his  friends  to  the  effect,  that,  if  they  fail  to  do 
so  and  so  by  bearer,  he  will  have  no  choice  but  to  dine  again  with 
Duke  Humphrey. — Dickens. 

—  In  the  form  Humfrey^  it  [Hunifred]  was  much  used  by  the 
^eat  house  of  Bobun,  and  through  his  mother,  their  heiress,  de- 
scended to  the  ill-fated  son  of  Henry  IV.,  who  has  left  it  an  oi^en 
question  whether  dining  with  Duke  Humphrky  alludes  to  the  re- 
port that  he  was  starved  to  death,  or  to  the  Elizabethan  habit  for 
poor  gentility  to  beguile  the  dinner  hour  by  a  promenade  near  hig 
tomb  in  old  St.  Paul's — Yonge.

Duty. — Duty,  though  set  about  by  thorns,  may  still  be  made  a  stafi

El  Dorado. — [Sp.,  tJie  Golden  Land.]  A  name  given  by  the  Spaniards 
to  an  imaginary  country,  supposed,  in  the  IGth  century,  to  be  situ- 
ated in  the  interior  of  South  America,  between  the  Rivers  Orinoco 
and  Amazon,  and  abouuding  in  gold  and  all  manner  of  precious 
stones.  Expeditions  were  huted  out  for  the  purpose  of  discovering 
this  fabulous  region ;  and,  though  all  such  attempts  proved  abor- 
tive, the  rumours  of  its  existence  continued  to  be  believed  down  to 
the  beginning  of  the  18th  century. 

•—  In  sliort,  the  whole  comedy  is  a  sort  of  El  Dorado  of  wit,  where 
the  precious  metal  is  thrown  about  by  all  classes  as  carelessly  as  if 
they  had  not  the  least  idea  of  its  value. — MooiiB. 

Jjlia. — A  pseudonym  tinder  which  Charles  Lamb  wrote  a  series  of  cele-

—  Comfort  thee,  0  thou  mourner,  yet  a  while ; 

Again  shall  Elia's  smile 
Refresh  thy  heart,  where  heart  can  ache  no  more. 
What  is  it  we  deplore  ?— Landor. 

—  He  is  also  the  true  Elia,  whose  essays  are  extant  in  a  little  volume 
published  a  year  or  two  since,  and  rather  better  known  from  that 
name  withoui  a  meaning  than  from  anything  he  has  done,  or  can 
hope  to  do,  in  his  own. — C.  Lamb,  Autobiographical  Sketch,  1837. 

Cmerald  Isle. — A  name  sometimes  given  to  Ireland  on  account  of  the 
peculiar  bright  green  look  of  the  surface  of  the  country.  It  was 
first  used  by  Dr.  William  Drenuan  (1754-1820),  author  of  "  Glen- 
dalough,  and  other  poems."  It  occurs  in  his  poem  entitled 
"Erm." 

—  When  Erin  first  rose  from  the  dark-swelling  flood, 
God  blessed  the  green  island  :  he  saw  it  was  good. 
The  Emerald  of  Europe,  it  sparkled,  it  shone. 
In  the  ring  of  this  world  the  most  precious  stone. 

Arm  of  Erin,  prove  strong  :  but  be  gentle  as  brave, 
And,  uplifted  to  strike,  still  be  ready  to  save : 
Nor  one  feeling  of  vengeance  presume  to  defile 
The  cause  or  the  men  of  the  Emerald  Isle. 

Empty. — My  Lord  St.  Albans  said  that  nature  did  never  put  her  pre-

Envy. — Envy,  elde st-bona  of  hell,  embrued 

Her  hands  in  blood,  and  taught  the  sons  of  men 

To  make  a  death  which  nature  never  made, 

And  God  abhorred  ;  with  violence  rude  to  break 

The  thread  of  life,  ere  half  its  length  was  run. 

And  rob  a  wretched  brother  of  his  being. 

With  joy  Ambition  saw,  and  soon  improved 

The  execrable  deed.     'Twas  not  enough 

By  subtle  fraud  to  snatch  a  single  life  ; 

Puny  impiety  !     Whole  kingdoms  fell 

To  sate  the  lust  of  power  :   more  horrid  still, 

The  foulest  stain  and  scandal  of  our  nature, 

Became  its  boast.      One  murder  made  a  villain : 

Millions^  a  hero.     Princes  were  privileged 

To  kill,  and  numbers  sanctified  the  crime. 

Ah  !  why  will  kings  forget  that  they  are  men  ? 

And  men  that  they  are  brethren  ?     Why  delight

all  one  as  if  they  should  make  the  standard  for  the  measure  we

Fata  Morgana. — The  name  of  a  potent  fairy,  celebrated  in  the  tales 
of  chivalry,  and  in  the  romantic  poems  of  Italy.  She  was  a  pupil 
of  the  enchanter  Merlin,  and  the  sister  of  Arthur,  to  whom  she 
discovered  the  intrigue  of  Queen  Guinevere  with  Lancelot  of  the 
Lake.  In  the  "Orlando  Inamorato"  of  Bojardo,  she  appears  at 
first  as  a  personific;ition  of  Fortune,  inhabiting  a  splendid  resi- 
dence at  the  bottom  of  a  lake,  and  dispensing  all  the  treasures 
of  the  earth ;  but  she  is  afterwards  found  in  her  proper  station, 
subject,  with  the  other  fairies  and  the  witches,  to  the  all-potent 
Demogorgon. 

At  the  present  day,  the  appellation  of  Fata  Morgana  is  given  to 
a  strange  meteoric  phenomenon,  nearly  allied  to  the  mirage,  witnessed, 
in  certain  states  of  the  tide  and  weather,  in  the  Straits  of  Messina, 
between  Calabria  and  Sicily,  and  occasionally,  though  rarely,  on  other 
coasts.  It  consists  in  the  appearance,  in  the  air  over  the  surface  of  the 
sea,  of  multiplied  inverted  images  of  objects  on  the  surrounding  coasts, 
■ — groves,  hills,  and  towers, — all  represented  as  in  a  moving  picture. 
The  spectacle  is  popularly  suj^iDosed  to  be  produced  by  the  fairy  whose 
name  is  given  to  it.

Flying  Dutchman. — The  name  given  by  sailors  to  a  phantom  ship, 
supposed  to  cruise  in  storms  ott'  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope.  Accord- 
ing to  tradition,  a  Dutch  captain,  bound  home  from  the  Indies, 
met  with  long-continued  head-winds  and  heavy  weather  off  the 
Cape  of  Good  Hope,  and  refused  to  put  back  as  he  was  advised  to 
do,  swearing  a  very  profane  oath  that  he  would  beat  round  the 
Cape,  if  he  had  to  beat  there  until  the  Day  of  Judgment.  He 
was  taken  at  his  word,  and  doomed  to  beat  against  head-winds  all 
his  days.  His  sails  are  believed  to  have  become  threadbare,  and 
his  ship's  sides  white  with  age,  and  himself  and  crew  reduced 
almost  to  shadows.  He  cannoD  heave-to,  or  lower  a  boat,  but 
Boraetiraes  hails  vessels  through  his  trumpet,  and  requests  them  to 
take  letters  home  for  him.  The  superstition  has  its  origin,  pro- 
bably, in  the  looming,  or  apparent  suspension  in  the  air,  of  .some 
ship  out  of  sight — a  phenomenon  sometimes  witnessed  at  sea,  and 
caused  by  unequal  refraction  in  the  lower  strata  of  the  atmosphere^

Who  would  be  free,  themselves  must  strike  the  blow  ? 

Byron,  Ghilde  Harold. 

—  Sufficient  to  have  stood,  though  free  to  fall. 

Milton,  Paradise  Lost. 

—  We  must  be  FREE  or  die,  who  .speak  the  tongue 
That  Shakespere  spake,  the  faith  and  morals  hold 
Which  Milton  held.— WoiiDSWORiH,  Sonnets. 

Freedom. — Freedom's  battle  once  begun, 
Bequeath'd  by  bleeding  sire  to  son, 
Though  baffled  oft,  is  ever  won. — Byron,  The  Giaour, 

■  —    Ay,  call  it  holy  ground, 

The  soil  where  first  they  trod, 
They  have  left  unstain'd  what  there  they  found, — 
Freedom  to  worship  God. 

Mrs.  Hemans,  The  Pilgrim  Fathers. 

—  This  hand  to  tyrants  ever  sworn  the  foe, 
For  Freedom  only  deals  the  deadly  blow  ; 
Then  sheathes  in  calm  repose  the  vengeful  blade, 
For  gentle  jpeace  in  freedom's  hallowed  shade. 

J.  Q.  Adams,  Written  in  an  AUmm. 

—  Yet,  Freedom  !  yet  thy  banner,  torn,  but  flying. 
Streams  like  the  thunder-storm  against  the  wind. 

Byron,  Childe  HaroitL 

—  Stone  walls  do  not  a  prison  make, 

Nor  iron  bars  a  cage  ; 
Minds  innocent  and  quiet  take 

That  for  an  hermitage ; 
If  I  have  FREEDOM  in  my  love. 

And  in  my  soul  am  free, 
Angels  alone  that  soar  above 

Enjoy  such  liberty. — EiCHAED  LovELACE,  To  Althaea.

Great  Unknown A  name  given  to  the  author   of   the   "  Waverley 

Novels,"  which,  on  their  first  appearance,  were  published  anony- 
mously. 

The  circumstance  of  Scott's  having  published  a  poem  in  the  same 
year  in  which  "Waverley"  appeared,  and  his  engagement  in  other 
literary  undertaJtings  being  known,  as  well  as  the  common  prejudice 
that  a  poet  cannot  excel  as  a  prose  writer,  served  to  avert  from  him  for 
a  time  the  suspicion  of  the  authorship  of  the  "  Waverley  Novels."  The 
taciturnity  of  the  few  intrusted  with  the  secret  defeated  all  attempts 
to  obtain  direct  evidence  as  to  who  was  the  author.  From  the  first, 
however,  suspicion  pointed  strongly  towards  Scott ;  and  so  many  cir- 
cumstances tended  to  strengthen  it,  that  the  disclosures  from  Con- 
stable's and  Ballautyne's  books,  and  his  own  confession,  scarcely  in-

Immortality. — It  must  be  so — Plato,  thou  reasonest  well — 
Else  whence  this  pleasing  hope,  this  fond  desire,

Or  whence  this  secret  dread  and  inward  horror 
Of  falling  into  naught  ?     Why  shrinks  the  soul 
Back  on  herself,  and  startles  at  destruction  ? 
'Tis  the  Divinity  that  stirs  within  us  ; 
'Tis  Heaven  itself  that  points  out  an  hereafter,

Eternity  !  thou  pleasing-,  dreadful  thought ! 
Through  what  variety  of  untried  being,

The  wide,  th'  unbounded  prospect,  lies  before  me ;

(And  that  there  is  all  nature  cries  aloud, 
Through  all  her  works),  he  must  delight  in  virtue ; 
And  that  which  he  delights  in  must  be  happy.

But  this  informs  me  I  shall  never  die. 
The  soul,  secure  in  her  existence,  smiles 
At  the  drawn  dagger,  and  defies  its  point. 
The  stars  shall  fade  away,  the  .sun  himself 
Grow  dim  with  age,  and  nature  sink  in  years,

Iron  Duke. — A  familiar  title  given  to  the  Duke  of  Wellington.

and  Dublin,  and  which  its  owners  called  the  "  Duke  cf  Wellington." 
The  tenn  Iron  Duke  was  first  applied  to  the  vessel ;  and  by-and- 
by,  rather  in  jest  than  in  earnest,  it  was  transferred  to  the  Duke 
himself.  It  had  no  reference  whatever,  at  the  outset,  to  any 
peculiarities  or  assumed  peculiarities,  in  his  disposition ;  though, 
from  the  popular  belief  that  he  never  entertained  a  generous 
feeling  toward  the  masses,  it  is  sometimes  understood  as  a  figura- 
tive allusion  to  his  supposed  hostility  to  the  interests  of  the  lower 
orders.

But  it  was  also,  most  probably,  at  first  employed  as  containing  a

IVIan  in  the  Moon A  name  popularly  given  to  the  dark  lines  and 

spots  upon  the  surface  of  the  moon  which  are  visible  to  the  naked 
eye,  and  which,  when  examined  with  a  good  telescopt^,  are  dis- 
covered to  be  the  shadows  of  lunar  mountains.  It  is  one  of  the 
most  popular  and  perhaps  one  of  the  most  ancient,  supei'stitiona 
in  the  world,  that  these  lines  and  spots  are  the  figure  of  a  man 
leaning  on  a  fork,  on  which  he  carries  a  bundle  of  thorns  or  brush- 
wood, for  stealing  which,  on  a  Sunday,  he  was  transported  to  the 
•noon.  (See  Muhitmmer  J^ighVs  Dream,  iii.  1,  and  Tempest, 
u.  2.)  The  account  given  in  Numbers  xv.  32,  et  seq.,  of  a  man 
who  was  stoned  to  death  for  gathering  sticks  upon  the  Sabbath 
day,  is  undoubtedly  the  origin  of  this  belief.

being  straw  shoes.  In  the  courts  at  Westminster  Hall,  many

When  mercy  seasons  justice.     Therefore,  Jew, 

Thovigh  justice  be  thy  plea,  consider  this, — 

That  in  the  course  of  justice  none  of  us

It  is  most  true  ;  true,  I  have  married  her: 

The  very  head  and  front  of  my  offending 

Hath  this  extent,  no  more.     Rude  am  I  in  my  speech,

Streams.— You'd  scarce  expect  one  of  my  age 
To  speak  in  public  on  the  stage  ; 
And  if  I  chance  to  fall  below 
Demosthenes  or  Cicero, 
Don't  view  me  with  a  critic's  eye, 
But  pass  my  imperfections  by. 
Large  streams  from  httle  fountains  flow, 
Tall  oaks  from  little  acorns  grow. 

D.  Everett,  Lines  written  for  a  School  Declamation.

That  my  youth  sufler'd.     My-  story  being  done 
She  gave  me  for  my  pains  a  world  of  sighs. 
She  swore — in  faith,  'twas  strange,  'twas  passing  strange  ; 
'Twas  pitiful,  'twas  wondrous  pitiful :

And  her  pale  fire  she  snatches  from  the  sun  :

To  be. — To  BE,  or  not  to  be  ;  that  is  the  question: 
Whether  'tis  nobler  in  the  mind  to  suffer 
The  slings  and  arrows  of  outrageous  fortune, 
Or  to  take  arms  against  a  sea  of  troubles, 
And  by  opposing  end  them  ?     To  die  :  to  sleep ; 
No  more  :  and  by  a  sleep  to  say  we  end 
The  heartache,  and  the  thousand  natural  shocks 
That  flesh  is  heir  to, — 'tis  a  consummation 
Devoutly  to  be  wish'd.     To  die,  to  sleep  ; 
To  sleep :  perchance  to  dream  :  ay,  there's  the  rub  ■ 
For  in  that  sleep  of  death  what  dreains  may  come, 
When  we  have  shuUled  off  this  mortal  coil, 
Must  give  us  pause.     There's  the  respect 
That  makes  calamity  of  so  long  life  : 
For  who  would  bear  the  whips  and  scorns  of  time, 
The  oppressor's  wrong,  the  proud  man's  contumely, 
The  pangs  of  despis'd  love,  the  law's  delay. 
The  insolence  of  office,  and  the  spurns 
That  patient  merit  of  the  unworthy  takes, 
When  he  himself  might  his  quietus  make 
With  a  bare  bodkin  ?     Who  would  fardels  bear, 
To  grunt  and  sweat  under  a  weary  life. 
But  that  the  dread  of  something  after  death, — 
The  undiscover'd  country,  from  whose  bourn 
No  traveller  returns, — puzzles  the  wUl, 
And  makes  us  rather  bear  those  ills  we  have, 
Than  fly  to  others  that  we  know  not  of  ? 
Thus  conscience  does  make  cowards  of  us  all ; 
And  thus  the  native  hue  of  resoluiion 
Is  sicklied  o'er  with  the  pale  cast  of  thought ; 
And  enterprises  of  great  pith  and  moment. 
With  this  regard  their  currents  turn  awry, 
And  lose  the  name  of  action. — Shakespere,  Hamlet,  act  iii.  bo.  L

and  Legion,  with  their  oompanions,  perceiving  by  the  path  that  tlie  pilgrims  made, 
that  their  way  to  the  city  lay  through  this  town  of  Vanity,  they  contrived  here  to  set 
up  a  fair — a  fair  wherein  should  be  sold  all  sorts  of  vanity,  and  that  it  should  last  all 
the  year  long.  Therefore,  at  this  fair,  are  all  such  merchandise  sold,  as  houses,  lands, 
trades,  p'iices,  honours,  preferments,  titles,  countries,  kingdoms,  lusts,  pleasures,  and 
dtiigi^ts  of  all  sorts,  as  harlots,  wives,  husbands,  children,  lives,  blood,  bodies,  sculs, 
tilviT.  g< 'd,  pearls,  precious  stones,  and  what  not.  And,  moreover,  at  this  fair,  there 
la,  at  all  times,  to  be  seen  jugglings,  cheats,  games,  fools,  knaves,  rogues,  and  that 
of  every  kind.  .  .  .  Now,  as  I  said,  the  way  to  the  Celestial  City  lies  just  through 
this  town  where  this  lusty  fau'  is  kept ;  and  he  that  would  go  to  the  city,  and  yet  not 
go  through  this  town,  must  needs  go  out  of  the  world."

and  steadily  as  it  had  lived.  The  select  few  who  had  composed  it 
died  like  gentlemen,  and  were  as  polite  as  Lord  Chesterfield  in  the 
act  of  death.  Some  of  them  turned  Whigs,  and  have  held  office 
under  Lord  Palrnerston  ;  and  others  are  Tories,  and  expect  to  hold 
office  tinder  Lord  Derby,  when  he  shall  form  his  third  ministry. —

insurrection  and  war.

For  thou  must  give  the  lie.
